pick up a date

It was the end of August, which meant that the summer vacation was over. After Qin Mantang drove away, Lin Mu stayed behind.

There is no need to be busy with farm work at this time. When I go out, I can see green eyes, corn stalks one or two meters high, and sesame beans in pieces. It is very pleasant to go out in the evening.

In front of Qin's house is a dam, after crossing the dam is a field, and behind it is a stream.

There are trees on both sides of the dam, and there are many varieties. The dam is so long that you can't see the end, so the forest is very long, and you can't get in it easily.

In the two days since he came back, Lin Mu followed Qin Jiu, and Zhang Wensheng ran around in the forest on the dam in front of his house, in the cornfield, and by the stream behind.

Kong Qu also came with him, but he didn't like bugs in cornfields and forests, and thorns on leaves, so he didn't participate in the activities of the others. He sat in the courtyard of Qin's house reading a book and accompanied Qin Zao .

He likes Qin Zao very much. He didn't like to go out before, and he just stayed at home to read books unless necessary. Ever since he knew that Qin Zao was like him, Grandma Qin touched his head and said to her: "I love you all." He liked it very much. He came to Qin's house, sitting under the tree, blowing the fan, usually when he came, grandpa would follow, thinking of this, he looked back at the grandpa and Grandpa Qin who were playing chess on the other side of the tree.

Tomorrow will officially start school. Today, Lin Mu took two little boys into the corn field. He broke the corn first. Speaking of breaking the corn, he had to see if it was edible. Last time he looked at which corn cob grew The big ones were broken off directly, and when I went back, I found that there were old inedible and tender inedible.Now I know that I can tear it apart a little before breaking it off.

Carrying the broken corn, they sent it to the porch of the gate, then turned to the edamame, and finally the three of them geared up and went to the woods.

After thinking about it, I knew that they couldn't get pheasants and hares, so Lin Mu wanted to take the opportunity to catch some cicada monkeys, but he couldn't find any, only the piercing sound of "cicada... cicada" all around. .

The three of them were ashamed and sweat dripping out. Qin Jiu scratched the spider web on his head: "Uncle, what are you looking for? You walked around and came out again."

"I know the monkey, your uncle said it was delicious, so I want to catch it and try it."

Qin Jiu opened his mouth, and still pointed out the reason, "You have to catch the cicada monkey at night or early in the morning, and it will become a cicada after dawn."

For a moment, Lin Mu didn't know how to proceed with this sentence, after all, he really didn't know.

Fortunately, Grandma Qin stood at the door and yelled: "Come back and drink some mung bean soup before playing. It's too hot."

Lin Mu hurriedly said hello, and pushed Qin Jiu and Zhang Wensheng into the courtyard, and the topic was thus settled.

After drinking the mung bean soup, Lin Mu couldn't stay idle, took out the fishing rod, took a big black umbrella, and went fishing behind the house, Grandma Qin called him from behind: "It's so hot, you can go fishing later. "

Yang raised the umbrella in his hand, Lin Mu turned his head and said, "Mom, I'm carrying an umbrella."

Grandma Qin didn't care about him anymore, she would always come back by herself when it was hot.

Lin Mu was thinking little things in his heart, he planned to have a barbecue at night, he didn't know how to cook, but the barbecue was still possible, the meat and vegetables were available at home, corn and edamame were all available, and it would be perfect to hang some fish and shrimp.The big black umbrella was stretched open, the fishing rod was put away and fixed, and I lay down under the umbrella, ignoring the hot air in the middle of the afternoon. It was still very pleasant.After turning five times on the grass, Lin Mu put away his umbrella and ignored the fishing rod, and walked back. How could the temperature be ignored? I’d better wait to eat.

Qin Mancang and Ji Qingluo laughed at him, and he smiled back with a red face, planning to go back to the house to sleep, but Grandma Qin pulled him to apply some cooling ointment.

The barbecue is naturally eaten, the fish and shrimp from Qin Mancang's net.

In mid-September, Lin Mu left, and everything went back to normal after school started, and the days just flowed quietly like this.

"Jiami stick, change to Jiaomi stick, sell Jiaomi stick..." A series of yells continued, the voice was thick and powerful, otherwise it would never have reached the end of the dam, waking up Qin who was taking a nap. morning.

Qin Zao rolled his eyes and saw that grandma was still asleep. He stretched his legs, rubbed his eyes, "baji" turned over there, and turned back again. Hearing the yelling outside, he thought of Jiaomi stick Crunchy, fragrant and sweet taste, took a sip of saliva, sat up with a grunt, then lay down and slowly rubbed under the bed, halfway up and then looked up at grandma, seeing that grandma had not been woken up, then went to Climb below.

Climbed out of the bed, tiptoed out the door, and slowly closed the door, Qin Zao breathed a sigh of relief, stood in the living room and turned around a few times, thinking about where his brother's money was, but couldn't help it. Guo, still went into the room where he and his brother slept, looked through the drawer, and only found two dollars under the pillow. Qin Zao took two coins, carefully put them in the breast pocket on the overalls, and put them in. He looked down again, and then carefully patted it with his hands a few times.

Back in the living room, thinking that the money was not enough, he lowered his head and thought for a long time, only to see that he suddenly raised his head, and the corner of his mouth curled into a big smile, just like the expression he had after stealing dried fish from grandma at two o'clock.

Dian Dian ran to the utility room, took the bag and packed three beer bottles, it was a bit heavy, and the four-year-old Qin Zao would be able to lift it off the ground, and he was too tired after walking two steps, dragging his buttocks Walking, dragging to the green brick road will not work, the sound is too loud, it will wake up grandma, so I can only hug her in my arms, take a rest after walking two steps, and it took a full 10 minutes to move to the gate.

He put down the beer bottle at the door, and laughed twice with his waist stuck in his waist. Before he was overjoyed, when he looked up and saw the high dam, his shoulders drooped instantly, and he murmured: "I hate this creek, without it, I would be happy." You can go directly there.” The creek behind the house extends from east to west, and the corner of the dam is next to the creek, so you still have to go up to the dam.

In order to eat, I still have to drag the wine bottle to the dam, climbed to the dam sweating profusely, put the bag containing the wine bottle on the grass on both sides of the dam, looked back at home, and felt I was a little scared, my grandma found out that he would definitely spank his butt, touched his butt and sneaked home again, took a bag behind the gate and ran back to the dam, and moved to the corner with the bag just now place.

Carrying the bag and pushing it down, it can be seen that there are many similar things done. Seeing the wine bottle gurgling safely to the bottom, I unfolded the bag. The outside of the bag was made of plastic cloth. After stepping on the road that was more than one meter wide, I let it go, thought for a while, and then moved to the grass next to it. I sat on it, fixed it with my hands, leaned back, and slid all the way down the road. Put it away, picked up the bag and dragged it behind, trotting all the way to the place where you shouted.

Halfway through the run, the yelling suddenly stopped, Qin Zao slowed down, changed to walking, walked two steps and then stopped, looked at the wine bottle in the bag, gnawed on his finger, thought for a while, still afraid of money Not enough to buy Jiaomi sticks, he heard from Zhang Wentong that he could exchange beer bottles for Jiaomi sticks, and he could exchange a lot.Oh, Zhang Wentong is Zhang Wensheng's younger brother.

So, Qin Zao continued on the road with a beer bag in his hand.

The author has something to say:

One day, Qin Jiu discovered that Qin Zao could spit out bubbles with the tip of his tongue, picked Qin Zao and ran to Zhang's house, insisting that Zhang Wentong come out to compete.

Zhang Wensheng: "..."

Zhang Wentong: "Puff..."

Qin Jiu picked up Qin Zao and ran away: "Oh, sure enough, we are the smartest. I will find other people to compete."

Qin Zao opened his mouth and a small bubble flew to Qin Jiu's face, turning into a puddle of saliva...
